I'm so sick of mistakenly pulling my Chrome tabs out of the tab list when i click on it, and having it open in a new window. I'm always pulling them off, then having to drop them back.

Does anyone know of a way to disable this 'feature' of Chrome?

+1 This wrecks my head but I can't find a solution. It seems to be part of Google's strategy to turn Chrome more application driven. – slotishtype Jun 22 '11 at 22:35
Would be nice if you had to hold a modifier and then click and drag (or could configure it as such) – mindless.panda Jun 22 '11 at 23:26
Just looked at it - IE 9 has some options for the tab handling, but Chrome has nothing. Saying that all current browsers seem to have the option by default and non-disablable (is there such a word?) – Taavi Jun 24 '11 at 22:18

I looked around a bit and it seems the option to disable this does not exist. So this is not exactly the answer to disable this feature, but you can:-

-Use ctrl + tab and to move forward through the tabs of chrome 
-Use ctrl + shift + tab to move back through the tabs of chrome 
-Use ctrl + <tab no:> (eg : ctrl + 5 for the 5th tab) to jump to a tab in chrome

If you do get a hang of these shorcut keys (I know I did) you will never have the problem of pulling chrome tabs out of the tabs list.

-Oh and using ctrl + w closes a tab
-using ctrl + t opens a new tab and
-the F6 function key takes you to the omnibox. (address bar)
